The traditional criminal justice curriculum typically covers the three c’s – cops, courts, and corrections. In addition, students can usually choose from a variety of discipline-related special topics courses to satisfy the requirements of their major or minor in criminal justice. However, what is missing from most curricula for future criminal justice professionals is face-to-face interaction with the very individuals they will spend a good part of their careers with – those who have been accused of or sentenced for law-breaking behaviors. The current paper describes the planning and implementation of an Inside Out Prison Exchange Course in a jail setting and offers an analysis of students’ course evaluation to discuss the benefits of this educational experience. The results are intended to highlight the importance and benefit of non-traditional educational experiences for better criminal justice professionals and creating opportunities for viable reentry.

打破障碍：在监狱环境中审查内部/外部监狱交流计划，第1部分

传统的刑事司法课程通常涵盖三个c要素：警察，法院和惩教。此外，学生通常可以从与学科相关的各种主题课程中进行选择，以满足其刑事司法专业或辅修专业的要求。但是，对于未来的刑事司法专业人士而言，大多数课程中缺少的是与他们将在职业生涯中花费很大一部分时间的个人进行面对面的互动，这些人被指控犯有违法行为或被判刑。当前的论文描述了在监狱环境中“监狱内外交换课程”的计划和实施，并提供了对学生课程评估的分析，以讨论这种教育经验的好处。
